Canadian National route maps needed!
Posted by ghonz711 on Thursday, December 29, 2005 9:48 PM
I am hoping to model the Canadian National Railway in the 1940's. I have lived next to the Canadian National Railway main line all my life and am really attached to this railway. I have been searching for route maps on the internet for the past many months and have found nothing. I was hoping i could be refered some more detailed route maps of the Canadian National Railway in ontario, preferably just north of Toronto. If anyone can refer me maps or even post them on this topic, that would be great, and you would be helping me out a whole lot.

Try Canadian Branchline miniatures. Ian Wilson has a whole series of books on the Canadian National. They describe a day on the railroad in 1954. Also have very good track maps. Check out his web site. Should tell you what you want. My favorate is Steam Over Palmerston.

I would second the suggestion of Ian Wilson's books. They are fantastic (although somewhat depressing for the steam fan...). They focus on the twilight of steam in Ontario. I believe he is up to about 5 or six books now. The first is completely sold out.

See www.canadianbranchline.com

There is also cnlines.com, and their publication of the same name that is of great use to CN fans.
